FILE - This undated file photo provided by the Brown family shows Michael Brown. Michael Brown, 18, was fatally shot in a confrontation with police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014. A grand jury decided not to indict the police officer involved in the death of Brown. At least 400 people are killed by police officers in the United States every year, and while the circumstances of each case are different, one thing remains constant: In only a handful of instances do grand juries issue an indictment, concluding that the officer has committed a crime.
